[x86/SLH] Flesh out the data-invariant instruction table a bit based on feedback from Craig.

Summary

The only thing he suggested that I've skipped here is the double-wide
multiply instructions. Multiply is an area I'm nervous about there being
some hidden data-dependent behavior, and it doesn't seem important for
any benchmarks I have, so skipping it and sticking with the minimal
multiply support that matches what I know is widely used in existing
crypto libraries. We can always add double-wide multiply when we have
clarity from vendors about its behavior and guarantees.

I've tried to at least cover the fundamentals here with tests, although
I've not tried to cover every width or permutation. I can add more tests
where folks think it would be helpful.

Drop the RCR/RCL instructions? We don't ever isel them and they are multi uop instructions.

These are double width multiplies too. Should we drop them?

All done.

I mean, I *think* they're safe, but I'm very happy to go minimal for now.
